I applied this am and got this message. In the past, it would just usually say 7 to 10 days in the mail, decline. I havent applied for this in at least 6 months. Lots of inquiries on EQ and new accounts although no negatives. Call them up earlier this morning, gentleman had me on hold for 5 minutes and came back and said sir, our computers our down and I cant process the application. Could you please call back in a few hours.
of course Im nervous to call them back and have them grill me, but maybe they will just decline me or floor me and approve me for a small limit on store card? lol
This is very similar to my past teases with Discover card where they tell me to call new accounts team and then just say sorry we cant approve you.
I think this is a good sign OP......The fact that it says " we need to ask you a few q's means a verification which usually turns into approval.....
The OP already replied that it was not approved after he talked to them.
